Randy Orton Posts Big Update on His Injury Status, Reveals Whether or Not He Needs Neck Surgery

January 8, 2016

Several weeks ago Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer reported that in addition to being sidelined with a shoulder injury, WWE star Randy Orton would likely be requiring neck surgery which would keep him out of action for an even longer period of time. It should be noted that in the original report Meltzer only speculated that Orton might need neck surgery, and never reported it as fact.

On an episode of Ric Flair’s WOOOOO Nation! podcast, recorded shortly after Orton went down with his shoulder injury, Flair also claimed that Orton would be in need of neck surgery which could keep him out of action an additional 3-6 months.

Orton responded to a fan on Instagram who asked about his current injury status, and you can view it in the photo below:
